DREAMTEAM - Transfer Time.


The group stage is all but over and thanks to some unexpected pitiful performances; many others and us have been crying out for the dreamteam transfer window to open in hope of reclaiming some point based pride.

The transfer window is open right this second and you have until the 28th June to make 4 whole changes. We’ve never been so grateful. Most of us will be shipping out our Spanish players and no doubt looking in the direction of Neymar, but then again, won’t everyone? You’re never going to win by following the crowd at this stage so perhaps a little imagination and the odd wildcard could clinch it? Here’s which teams made it through the group stages…

Group A
Brazil & Mexico
Group B
Holland & Chile
Group C
Colombia & Greece
Group D
Costa Rica & Uruguay
Group E
France & Switzerland
Group F
Argentina & Nigeria
Group G
Germany & USA
Group H
Belgium & (Yet to be decided with Algeria, Russia and South Korea all with hope)

Mark Hyndman is currently topping our mini league with 188 points, his inclusion of surprise point magnet, Columbias’ Rodriguez alongside all the usual top scoring suspects gives him the edge over most others. With all but two of his players confirmed for the knockout stage he’s going to be hard to catch.

Tom Mann is sitting in 78th position with 90 points mainly thanks to Robben and Messi. With over half his team either knocked out or very soon to be, he’s certainly got some changes to make, but with Ronaldo and his hefty price tag soon to be surplus to requirements Tom has money to play with.

We aren’t too far behind Tom, in fact only 5 points separate us. Our not so trusty and pricey Spanish inclusions along with our English player loyalties have certainly cost us big points but they leave us with plenty of cash to make our changes.

JJ Bird sits 101st with 78 points, without Benzema and Messi his leaky defence would see him far worse off. Aguero sits amongst his strikers as a pricey pointless inclusion but he has 5 players either out or soon to be. Decisions, decisions for JJ.

Derry Mensah and his ‘solid eleven’ have him in 114th place with 74 points. Suarez is easily his biggest point scorer but with the nibbler facing punishment his team looks in trouble. The transfer window has definitely come at the right time for Derry.

Dan Keatings is just a few points behind in 122nd position. Without Robben and his whopping 31 points Dan would certainly be much further down the mini league with most other players struggling to make much of an impact.

Charlie Healy is only 7 points behind band mate Derry, with Messi leading the way for the rest of his struggling line-up. He’s going to need a bit of a miracle to storm up to that top spot he previously had his eye on.

James Lock is having a bit of a nightmare sitting in 164th position with just 46 points. His English and Spanish midfield weren’t the craziest of picks but they’ve certainly let him and many others down, but his strike force hasn’t done much to contribute points wise. It’s a shame James can only make 4 changes.

With a mighty bundle of prizes up for grabs for the winner this transfer window could make you or break you.

The prizes for the winner are…

The complete Calvin Klein world cup underwear collection from Bang & Strike.
